Abstract

This study aims to explore the influence of organizational culture and demographic profiles on employee attitudes at Eastern Samar State University (ESSU) Guiuan Campus. Using a quantitative research method with a correlational design, the study examines relationships among variables such as age, gender, educational attainment, employment status, and organizational culture, which encompasses the values of excellence, accountability, and service. Data were collected through questionnaires utilizing a Likert scale to measure organizational culture and employee attitudes. The findings indicate that ESSU Guiuan's organizational culture strongly emphasizes excellence, accountability, and service, with high levels of job satisfaction and employee commitment. While demographic profiles were not found to significantly affect most aspects of organizational culture and employee attitudes, employment status was significantly related to service quality, and job designation influenced employee engagement. The study recommends enhancing professional development programs, fostering innovation through employee engagement, and strengthening effective leadership to promote a more inclusive and dynamic organizational culture. These findings provide valuable insights for strategic interventions to improve organizational culture and employee well-being in higher education institutions.
